Kelis, fashion forward or flop?

Although a huge fashion fan, I'm not much of a risk taker when it comes to my own garb. I do appreciate a calculated gamble on the outre as much as the next girl, but Kelis -- she of the better "Milkshake" who recently divorcedlongtime beau baby daddy Nas -- has taken her long-percolating penchant for the fashion fringe to the extreme.

I'm not even sure what she's going for here -- costume shop explosion meets farmyard chic? The Statue of Liberty-esque spikes in the hair, the six-foot long mangy braid casually tossed over one shoulder, the pink jumpsuit, the tux top and -- at the teetering base of this hodge-podge -- a pair of heels apparently designed for stripper pigs... It all adds up to blech.

Why would you say baby daddy? He's her ex-husband. Clearly you know that already because you said they were newly divorced. Subtle racism at it's best. Jusdge her for the outfit without being ignorant and offensive.

And, by the way, Lady Gaga wears outfits that are just as crazy and no more flattering.

oh god, yes they were married!!!! why cross out longtime beau and use baby daddy instead when your use of the word 'divorce' indicates u know they were married??? is it cause they are black???? do u call brad angie's baby daddy cause they are NOT married??? so disappointed. i think an apology is owed.

*sighs* Everyone has an opinion these days. Back in my day, a credible journalist would take the time to do research before sounding off. It's post like this that give Bloggers a bad rap. Kelis has been dressing like this quite some time now (i.e. her lettuce colored wedding dress).

Further more Liz, the term "Baby Daddy" is an insult. This is why there was such an uproar when I believe The NY Post referred to out first lady Michelle Obama as such.

Lastly, any well informed person would know Kelis's outfit was inspired by Avatar (and not a farm pig stripper shop where you appear to hang out). Please log off, and get a clue before your next rant.

I don't care what it's inspired by, nor do I care that the heels are Alexander McQueen. It's just wrong. She looks like a pink lobster. Pair the heels, which do have an intriguing shape, with a short hemline, and then maybe you're in business. But this is a disaster.
